Addicted to Love

So, after weeks and months and years of relentless seeking for love, Nicole finally is on the verge of attachment-hood.

The princess has never seen so much devotion and dedication in the art of love-seeking than Nicole. Other than, maybe, Frumpy housewife, whom had been attached for the longest time.

At some point in time, the Princess had also found herself inadvertently drawn into the fray as well (with much enthusiasm and excitement, I must say)

Some people, it seems, hold on to the notion of love like it’s the most sacred thing in life. It is the central piece in their life; without which nothing really makes sense.

But what about "saving the environment, teaching the young, your passion on baking, acting and singing?" the princess, sometimes, finds herself asking these questions for them.

Shouldn’t these rank higher than love?

What is the value of love? The princess asks.

Someone to be there when u need? someone to hold on to? someone to call your own?

If your life is fulfilling enough, is there still a need for love?

The princess cannot help but to ask:

"Is the addiction to love, a symptom that our own life is lacking that self-fulfilment? Can we truly love another, when we do not even have the capability to truly love ourselves?"

Love others only when u love yourself. I guess we should
have reached the point in life where we are able to love ourselves
enough to give love to others. What's more, u are a narcissist. I
don't see why u can't give love to others. Haha. Having love in your life is not a lack of self fullfillment neither does it mean that u dun have a fullfilled
life. Love is just one missing piece that will fullfill the
already fullfilled life that i have. Seriously, I have no complain in life as i think i have everything. Family, close frens, money (Though not a lot), apartment (soon), car, career etc.. Am thankful that i have
all these but having love in life is like icing on the cake. Just like having a cherry on top of the icing. Get it? haha. It completes the fullfilled life that i have.

Very true. One cannot give love to another if one does not have love for oneself first... that of course is the ideal relationship. Many people cant bear to spend some time to 'love themselves' as thus look to others to fullfil that aspect- As such, the 'love' they have of the other becomes conditional and selfish.
